I'm wondering if the Shop the Swap crafts are acceptable, since for the most part they are things that people do not specifically make to swap with a specific person (that being said there have been a number of "custom" crafts made in the STS). Perhaps the crafted items that people have "sold" to another swapper could be eligible for the challenge?

As long as they meet the requirements (sent in a swap and not posted in the boards already) there's no reason not to enter them.

If there is any picture of the item at all on the net, you can copy the url and paste it into google images...if it exists anywhere, you might be able to find a decent picture! It will even tell you where the picture was posted for you to ask for permission, if needed...I have found pictures that I deleted from my computer years ago...they are still "out there"

quick question: does it have to be from a past swap? would it be alright if it was from a current swap? i'm currently working on something i may want to enter. the sendout dat for the swap is april 30th, but i'm hoping to send out a bit earlier than that.
